Lovely large room - although some of the decor was older, it was all very clean and well presented. Good air conditioning system kept the room nice and warm. 2 doors separating the hotel corridor and the main bedroom, (bathroom and wardrobe in between) so it was beautifully quiet. Free parking on the road (the owners will assist to make sure you are parked safely). In the morning i was made a beautifully presented, abundant breakfast for only 10BGN additional, which set me up for my day. Both owners are friendly and want to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible, and reminded me of staying with family. Ideal spot for my stop over to see buzludzha monument and shipka church.

Bathroom seemed to have a leak/poor connection underneath the shower tray as it bounced standing on it, and water pooled on the floor, as the shower ran, from underneath. The hotel is investing in some upgrades, as seen by the work in the garden and on the back of the house, so I'm hoping its something they are aware of and are sorting ready for the summer anyway :)

Friendly owners. Hotel is located in beautiful surrounding, close to nature, monuments, and city.

Room was a bit smelly.

Our room and bathroom were a good size, clean and comfortable and we could see the Seuthes tomb from our window. There is a large communal balcony and a nice garden and pool.

Really calm village, good bed mattress, separated shower

Parking not exactly in front of the hotel, but a few m far.

The breakfast was exceptional and all homemade. The host was very friendly and welcoming. She offered an excellent suggestion regarding a place for dinner and had other suggestions for things to do and see in the area. A big bonus in regards to our room was the placement of two outlet receptacles on both sides of the bed. I don't think I have ever seen that in a guest house in Bulgaria.

We didn't use the television, but I attempted to turn it on at one point and couldn't seem to get it to work. If someone wanted to watch something in the evening, they may not have been able to. Also, since there is a pool, an extra towel or two so that you could have one for the pool and one for showering would have been nice.

In the short period we stayed, we managed to see all the sights in close range to the town. The responsive staff advised us on how to get around everything so that we don't waste our time. In terms of food, they shared a magnificent restaurant close to the hotel. Luckily for us, the place to eat turned out to be no more than 15 minutes from the hotel itself. The short walk between the hotel and the restaurant gives an opportunity to see a small part of the city, revealing part of its unique charm.

On the negative side of things, it would be hard to describe any. I would be lying to myself if I said we experienced any kind of inconvenience. Strongly recommend visiting this district and getting familiar with its breathtaking history.

friendly owner who spoke great English. was very welcoming and the rooms were really big with comfortable beds.

Nice view

Window from my room was to balcony where another guests smoke , not proper hydro isolation of shower part and rest of bathroom, bit noise of room refrigerator; in my opinion served breakfast is expensive

Good location for Buzludhza and the local monuments. Fab owners who are incredibly helpful and breakfast is lovely. The garden and pool would be lovely in summer after a day of hiking.

Nothing at the price point

A lovely clean family owned hotel in the small town of Shipka. The room was quiet and comfortable. There was a mini fridge and a kettle. The pool looked nice but we didn’t use it due to the weather. The owners were very friendly and kind. The bathroom had an enclosed shower. A good breakfast is available. It’s a short drive to the Thracian tombs, the church and a restaurant.

A bath mat would have been nice. Otherwise, everything was perfect.
